Portugal

Discover the delicacy of Rufete, a light, aromatic Portuguese red grape offering red berry fruit, soft spice and floral notes. Its gentle tannins and fresh acidity create a refined, elegant style that pairs beautifully with poultry, charcuterie, mushroom dishes and Mediterranean cuisine. Often grown in high-altitude vineyards, Rufete shows purity and lift, reflecting its cooler terroirs. Our curated selection highlights producers crafting expressive, terroir-led Rufete that showcases Portugal’s natural brightness and nuanced winemaking heritage.
